I've just received my copy of Janet Wilsons paper pricking book and am absolutely enthralled. I copied a design onto parchment, copied the dots with a white pen and pricked the holes. To my delight the picture was perfect just as she said it would be. I am delighted and would recomend this book to anyone doing any paper craft. It shows you all you need to know and the pictures are very clear, especially to a novice. This book has opened avenues I never thought I would explore!

I goofed when I ordered this book at the same time that I ordered the Traditional Papercrafts book by the same author. Almost this entire booke, but 8 pages, (4 patterns) is in the second book. If you like paper crafts just get the traditional papercrafts book instead of this one, you get much more for your money. Is also a pain enlarging the patterns. None would have been so large that she couldn't have put the full size pattern in the books. Making something 125% bigger is the pits.

I recently purchased The Art of Decorative Paper Pricking and whilst it has many borders, I was disappointed that there were very few patterns for pin pricked pictures. I was also disappointed that almost everything had to be enlarged via photocopier/scanner. When I compare this book to others that I have seen I was most disappointed.

Basic Paper Pricking
This is a good book, however, I did not like the fact that all the patterns must be increased in size from 120% to 150%. It would be much easier to have the patterns regular size. Read more
